Abstract: 
Treatment of fibrinogen [bovine] with maleic acid anhydride rendered fibrinogen unclottable depending on the degree of modification of the molecule. According to radioactive studies, the release of fibrinopeptides by thrombin or reptilase was undisturbed. The incoagulability was due to inhibition of the polymerization process of fibrin monomers derived from modified fibrinogen, mainly caused by the increase of electronegative charges upon the fibrinogen molecule. According to disc electrophoresis modified fibrinogen failed to produce fragments D and E following plasmic digestion, but may be degraded to high MW products. Modified fibrinogen revealed some similarities to abnormal fibrinogens in congenital dysfibrinogenemia with regard to its functional properties.
